prayer life
Communion with God
Prayer life refers to a person's ongoing practice of prayer, considered as a whole—its frequency, depth, and character.
The term appears almost exclusively in religious contexts, especially Christian: She has a rich prayer life, He wanted to deepen his prayer life.
It treats prayer not as isolated acts but as a sustained spiritual discipline or relationship.
